history
Gregorsdorf
Gregorsdorf, i.e. the old lower village, originally consisted of three parts of the village: the community Gregorsdorf (Gmina Grzegorzowice), Ducal Gregorsdorf (Grzegorzowice Książęce) and the country estate Slawikauer Gregorsdorf (Grzegorzowice Sławikowskie). In the 15th century there was a dispute between the pastor from the Duchy of Ratibor and the owner of Gregorsdorf and Slawikau. It was about the path that led to the pastor's fields. The name Gregorowitz is mentioned in a document from 1405 . In the middle of the 15th century the village belonged to the Hossek von Gregorowitz family. On February 12, 1467, Machna, the daughter of Wenceslaus Hossek, sacrificed the village to the collegiate church in Ratibor. The pastor received interest and tithe from the field from Gregorsdorf. At the end of the 17th century the manor had two gardens, three ponds and a large area of forest. The water mill near the Längenbach (Łęgoń) also belonged to the country estate . On July 16, 1698, the collegiate church leased the inn with its fields and the right to sell schnapps. The transaction was worth 60 thalers . The buyer was forced to pay 18 thalers rent for the collegiate church every year. In 1809 the collegiate church sold part of the country estate. The canons received 3300 thalers for the estate. They needed the money to pay the French contributions and the war debts. 50 acres of field were sold. After the secularization of the collegiate church, the rest of the country estate was owned by the castle in Ratibor. The Slavic part was owned by the Zygrod family until 1451. Subsequently, until 1531 it belonged to Nikolaus Holy from Ponientzütz. After that the estate belonged to Nikolaus Szeliga. The next owners of the country estate were the owners of Ganiowitz. On March 8, 1619 Friedrich von Oppersdorf sold part of Slawikau and Gregorsdorf to Heinrich Stolz from Simsdorf . In 1649 Johann Bernard von Praschma acquired the estate. From 1701 Gregorsdorf was owned by the Trach family. In 1731 the village was sold to Gregor von Lautensak. From 1761 to 1772 Johann von Drechler was the owner of Gregorsdorf. On May 23, 1795, Adolf von Eichendorff from Lubowitz bought the village. In 1804 Rudolf von Seidlitz acquired the village. In 1835 the Eicksted family took over Gregorsdorf. The last owner of the village was Rudolf von Eicksted.
Ganiowitz
As early as 1339 Ganiowitz was the property of the Assumption of Mary parish in Ratibor. In 1364 Jan Dzecko (Johannes Dzeckonis) is mentioned as a pastor. He went to Rome in the service of Nicholas, Duke of Ratibor. He received a dispensation from Pope Urban V for the Prince's third wedding to Jutta from Falkenberg (Niemodlin). The Duke has exempted all farmers from Ganiowitz from the tributes. The deed was issued on November 30, 1364. The ruler mentioned villis Ganowicz, the village of Ganiowitz. From 1416 the village was owned by the canons from Racibórz. In 1551 Paul Wraninski is recorded as the owner of Ganiowitz. In 1578 Nikolaus Wraninsky sold the family fortune to Maciej Grabow. In 1594 the village was taken over by the district administrator of Oppersdorf. From 1648 Ganiowitz was again owned by the Wraninsky family. In 1682 the owner of the village died. All of his children were minors, so the manor was put up for auction. The collegiate church from Ratibor wanted to buy the village. The pastor from Lubowitz, Wilhelm von Trach, was sent to Vienna to complete the transaction. Ganiowitz got the collegiate church on October 5th, 1695. In 1810 the church property was taken over by the government. From 1811 Ganiowitz was owned by the Prussian government. Soon the village became part of the property of the castle in Racibórz. Over time Ganiowitz became the property of the princely family of Ratibor. They owned the estate until 1945. After the First World War, Ganiowitz was connected to Gregorsdorf.
Gatzky
The Gatzky settlement consisted of a few farms. The Gatzky colony is located near Ganiowitz. There was a mill here, but it was destroyed by a flood in 1725. When the mill was rebuilt, an inn was added. In the tavern 14 eighths of beer and half a bucket of brandy were sold annually. In these times 7 farmers, 2 small farmers and 4 cottagers lived here. At the end of the 18th century, the estate and the settlement were made into a subdivision. The settlement was leased from Mr. Stoklosa. The canons of Racibórz received 21 bushels of grain a year, and the vicars and sextons 6.5 bushels. Stoklosa had to pay 1270 guilders for the lease and 980 of them were for the King of Prussia. At the end of the XIX. In the 19th century the Gatzken settlement was a colony of the village of Ganiowitz. After the First World War, the Gatzken colony and Ganiowitz were connected to Gregorsdorf.
